WeRide and Uber have secured Spain's first national Level 4 autonomous driving permit to launch a robotaxi service in Madrid, marking WeRide's first EU approval. This permit initiates route validation and operational readiness with commercial operations expected by end of 2026.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 2 sources have reported it between 11 Sep 2026 and 15 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The Madrid permit opens a direct commercial path for robotaxi services unlike London's focus on technical validation. You need to target cities with simpler environments to launch early-scale fleets and build operational proofs.
